One of the finest minds of the twentieth century

Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today

Will there ever again be a public intellectual who commands the attention of so many across the planet?

The west's most prominent critic of US imperialism . . . the closest thing in the English-speaking world to an intellectual superstar

Conversations with David Barsamian on Global Democratic Uprisings and the New Challenges to U.S. Empire

In this new collection of conversations, conducted from 2010 to 2012, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns: the future of democracy in the Arab world, the implications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the 'class war' fought by U.S. business interests against working people and the poor, the breakdown of mainstream political institutions and the rise of the far right. 
 
The latest volume from a long-established, trusted partnership, this collection shows once again that no interlocutor engages with Chomsky more effectively than David Barsamian. These interviews will inspire a new generation of readers, as well as longtime Chomsky fans eager for his latest thinking on the many crises we now confront, both at home and abroad. They confirm that Chomsky is an unparalleled resource for anyone seeking to understand our world today.

Power Systems is a searing collection of new insights from the mind of Noam Chomsky, the world's most prolific public intellectual and author of the best-selling Failed States, Hopes and Prospects and Occupy.
